Big Ten Pub Crawl to Benefit Homeless Pets Foundation

Cosmo hangs out with Dr. Michael Good,
an Atlanta area veterinarian and founder
of the Homeless Pets Foundation, at a recent
Big Ten fundraising event

I can think of two great reasons to partake in this weekend's Big Ten Pub Crawl in Atlanta.

• First, if you live in the Southeast and you attended a Big Ten school, no doubt you're tired of all the barking (Georgia style), Florida Gator antics and anything else the SEC and ACC schools have to offer. Here's your chance to be surrounded by the glory that is the Big Ten (GO BLUE!).
• Second, this year's Big Ten Crawl is benefitting the Homeless Pets Foundation, created in 1998 to aid abandoned and homeless animals AND to bring people and animals together to enrich each other's lives. 

The Big Ten Alumni Club of Atlanta raised more than $25,000 for charities in past events, and it's hoping to "crush that number" this year! All net proceeds from the pub crawl with benefit Homeless Pets Foundation. 

Here's how to learn more about the pub crawl and buy tickets. The event starts tomorrow, Aug. 20 at 3 p.m. in the Buckhead area of Atlanta. 

A little more about the Homeless Pets Foundation

The Homeless Pets Foundation has placed more than 10,000 pets in loving homes since its inception in 1998. It's currently comprised of three different entities:

• Homeless Pets Adoption -- adopts out animals through Town and Country Veterinary Clinics in the Atlanta area, and cares for the many dogs and cats in the program. Learn more about how to adopt.
• Homeless Pet Clubs -- partners with schools and workplaces to help adopt out animals. Learn more about how to start a club for your school or workplace.
• Homeless Pets Transport -- moves animals to high-demand areas to help ensure the dogs and cats find loving homes.
